Milano/Daquan question?

[TheFunPolice]

for both of these injuries I would worry that the players would be healthy enough to play but would have lost significant strength in key areas while they were healing that they wouldn't be able to recover in that period of time. Next season, sure, but they have to heal AND also get leg strength/pec strength back to be effective. 

 

I would think that pec strength for a DL is huge, with all the pushing off of guys to break blocks. 

[Success]

They haven't rule either out, which is a positive.  From the few short comments they've made, there is hope..

 

It likely depend on how they both heal. It's pretty different w/ every individual.

Plus Suh will do just fine as a fill-in DT for us anyway.

Except Suh doesn’t want to come here. He wants to be a Raven. 
 

but I too hope for him. It’s just not gonna happen tho.

No LB'ers were moved. Only 1 DT. There were a total of 8 moves made today league wide.

 

Wanting trades to happen is all fine and good. But it takes someone wanting to trade them and the compensation to be right for it to happen. 

 

It's not the NHL or the NBA. 

Stop with the reasoning GMs that don’t get anything done are famous for. If a team is a player away and have reasonable proximity to the cap, it’s just about finding the right trade partner and after the Packers fell out of the race and realized they are in the QB market, thus draft capital is vital. Washington, the Giants and Chicago are other trade candidates. A good GM can always find a draft choice/ player trade before the deadline.

Suh isn’t coming to Buffalo. No way is this regime bringing in a body stomper.

Sure hope so.  
 

I was really hoping we’d eliminate the Dodson/Rapp pairing by adding someone at LB.  
 

Douglas is a big corner, maybe they can move him into rapps spot when they want to go 6 DBs.  He can play inside and out.  Super physical. 
 

We we one CB injury away from season over.  Just a great trade.  
 

 

-  been listening to a couple packers podcasts talking about the trade-  99% are either sad (because they think he’s good and wanted to keep him long term) or happy for him (to be traded for a contender).  Many said that they loved watching him play.  I love that.

Beane came through with an add that Packer fans are sorry to part with. He’s a physical style ball hawk, in the mold of Tre White. I think a corner was more crucial to bring in than OLB. Let’s hope he can be  a good match with Benford, and we can use Elam in a future deal.

Oh I agree. Don’t get me wrong.  I love the trade.  Can start on the outside and can play the slot if Taron gets hurt.  

 

It would’ve been even better if we could’ve gotten a LB too.  
 

 

[TFBillsfan]

I’d be surprised if we see either this season. It would seem the wise decision would be to let them fully heal, rehab and ensure their strength is 100% for next season. 
 

It sucks but those were two bad injuries that will take time.

Does the lack of moves at those positions mean the Bills feel confident these two could be back this season? 

I think one or both could be back for the playoffs. I don't expect to see either one in the regular season, though

I don’t think anyLBs were moved at the deadline. At least we can match up better with some of those elite receiver teams (Cinn, Philly, Miami even Dallas)

I was actually wrong. There were a total of SIX moves made today. In the entire league. We should count ourselves lucky that we were one of them and brought in a starter.

 

Please tell me again how easy it is to make an impactful trade in this league at the deadline. I repeat, not a single LB was moved by any team. Anywhere, period. If one were available and was worth the price tag, we'd have done it.

With Milano it depends what he broke.  If the fibula he could come back since it isn’t a weight bearing thing.  If a tibial fracture then much less likely he can get back this year.

There seems to be whispers of a potential Suh signing at some point.  
 

It does seem interesting that reports are we were so heavy on CB before the deadline and next to zero reports of us on a DT/LB. 
 

 

We need to do something at DT. Ed is the only one I trust there atm. I didn’t pay Suh any attention last year so idk how much he has in the tank but he was solid with Bucs the year before. He not really the type of player mcbeane likes(I’m not a fan of his antics either) but maybe this team needs someone like him. 

[JerseyBills]

Well Jones is a FA, hopefully re signed and anyone we added for Milano would be irrelevant once he's healthy, so just not worth it

I feel it's like fantasy football,  at least with me and most of the league , we tend to overvalue our own players

Milano is not sharing much information with anyone, including his friends. He is from near where I live and I have an acquaintance who is tight enough that Milano he has gone with Milanos family to every game in Florida. As of last week Milano had not contacted him to respond to anything related to leg and his parents are not telling anyone anything. My guess is that the leg is really messed up but maybe he is trying something revolutionary to heal it and doesn't want to hear it from his father who is a doctor.

Funny you referenced LB and not our primary need, CB. Minn. needed aQB, they got one. Seattle needed a tackle, Leonard Williams, Philly needed a safety, they got an all pro, SF needed a DE,they got a 1st rd drafted Chase Young, the Bears wanted an elite DE, Montez Sweat. Jacksonville lost an OL and got one. If you are relevant and ready to deal draft picks, there’s a trade partner available. Beane got a good corner because he knew the fans would destroy him if he did nothing with his track record of not being active at the deadline.

Yes. Considering we still have a shot at the playoffs and will probably be right in it until the end of the season
